A conversation with a battle rapper becomes Drake’s first response
Last night, Meek Mill erupted with an attack on Drake, whom Meek claims doesn’t write his own raps, didn’t write his verse on Meek’s album, and didn’t support Meek’s album because he became aware that Meek and his team found out. It’s a whirlwind set of accusations, which includes shots at Nicki Minaj‘s ex-boyfriend.
Today, as folks did their best to digest just what got into the “Check” rapper, the next question was obviously, ‘what will Drake say?’ The Toronto native is notorious for never directly addressing or responding to rap beefs or riffs, opting instead to drop scathing lines in his raps. Today, that trend continued, with Drake conversing with battle rapper Hitman Holla on Instagram, and Holla posting the conversation, featuring Drake’s confident response.
“I signed up for greatness. This comes with it.”
Aside from the cryptic message, Drake also “liked” a pretty interesting Instagram video earlier today, posted by Krept of Krept and Konan, the English Hip-Hop duo known for their song “Freak of the Week.” The video, which you can watch here, featured Krept in the offices of The Fader, hiding a Fader issue with Meek Mill on the cover with an issue featuring Skepta as the cover artist.
So, there was a little shade.

Everyone wants Drake’s spot – Meek’s garbage.. What is his message trying to convey? Drake at least hones up to his upbringing. Meek’s influence is so apparent in all america 🙂
Fact of the matter is that this is a business where the artist is the brand/product/service what have you and whether or not Drake writes is own lyrics or facilitates a hideaway boot camp for ghost writers, he is still light years ahead of Meek economically and socially. This is like hood niggas clowning the college grade for becoming a professional actor that happens to occasionally play hood roles..and makes a very good living doing so. Fact is you cannot live in your feelings in this industry, and damn sure can’t take shots at a mountain when your living in the hills. Drake and his people are entrepreneurs, they know what it takes to be successful and they get it done, plain and simple.
i dont believe it i wouldnt be a rapper if it wasnt for drake everything he raps relates to my life
he told his story
and told my story
